Benefits

Security

With security threats on the rise, you need to ensure maximum protection for your critical data. EPYC processors come with AMD Infinity Guard—a full suite of cutting-edge security features, built into the silicon and designed to defend against internal and external threats.

AMD Infinity Guard helps decrease potential attack surfaces as software boots, executes, and processes your data. It includes:

• Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) to help safeguard VM privacy and integrity

• Secure Nested Paging (SEV-SNP) for strong memory integrity protection capabilities

• Secure Memory Encryption (SME) to help guard against attacks on main memory

• AMD Shadow Stack™ for hardware-enforced stack protection capabilities against malware attacks

Energy Efficiency

EPYC processors power the most energy efficient x86 servers, delivering exceptional performance and reducing energy costs.5 EPYC CPUs can help minimize environmental impacts from data center operations while advancing your company’s sustainability objectives.

AMD has even bigger plans in place for the future. Our goal is to deliver 30x increase in energy efficiency for AMD processors and accelerators powering servers for AI-training and HPC from 2020-2025. Our goal equates to a 97% reduction in energy use per computation by 2025. If all AI and HPC server nodes globally were to make similar gains, billions of kilowatt-hours of electricity could be saved in 2025 relative to baseline trends.

Outstanding Return on IT Investment

Capture the value of your IT investment. Cut total cost of ownership in virtualized environments by an estimated 68% to deliver 320 VMs.6 EPYC processor-powered servers can improve time-to-value for your applications and help you gain business-critical insights faster.

EPYC processor-powered single-socket servers also deliver compute power that is right-sized for your workloads, so that you may be able to satisfy your business requirements without having to scale up to dual-socket servers— thus helping minimize licensing costs and reducing power consumption.
